Last year on the way up to ft collins I assisted the highway patrol and the
driver of a pick up that didn�t have a trailer loaded correctly.  He was on
the way up a hill and the very heavy load shifted to the rear of the trailer
and lifted the rear wheels of the truck off of the ground with out breaking
free from the truck.  We got enough stuff carefully shifted around just
enough to get him level again and then carefully off to the side of the road
where he could do a reloading.
